Shu Miao looked at her in surprise, then turned to look at Zili who looked confused.
Only then did they realize that this guy not only had an unshaven beard, but his clothes were also wrinkled. He looked several years older than the two of them.
But...he didn't call me sister?
It shouldn't be a big deal, so why is she reacting so strongly?
Zili realized that he was being excluded, so he immediately put away his smile, put away the pile of food in his sister's arms, and immediately started crying out for food.
Shu Miao didn't even bother to ask what happened to He Li, and immediately took her to a restaurant not far away.
I ordered three dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage and pork, and a bowl of wontons.
During this period, he deliberately left Zili aside and asked him not to sit at the same table with him, saying that he had to find out what was going on with He Li.
"So pretentious!" Zili muttered to himself, but still did as he was told.
In fact, I was secretly planning in my mind how to deceive this inexplicable guy later.
And here,
Shu Miao, who had finally pried open He Li's mouth, was left in a state of confusion by the reason she gave.
After much persuasion and a bunch of promises that I would never ignore her in the future, I finally managed to coax her into submission.
After that, I found a truck stop, stuffed two packs of cigarettes into the driver's hand, and successfully persuaded the driver to agree to take a detour to the vicinity of Yiheyuan Road.
Although the location the driver mentioned was two or three miles away from the school, it was still a good deal.
After all, the buses have stopped running at this time. If you hire a tricycle to go back, it will cost at least ten yuan, and the driver may not be willing to take you.
After a while, the truck was full and the driver started the car and set off.
The designated drop-off point was actually closer to the village where they rented a house, but Shu Miao was worried about He Li going back alone.
After getting in the car, Zili and I first sent the person back to school safely before turning around and going to the rented house.
Zili's expression changed again and again along the way, from shock and yearning when he saw those Western-style buildings in the city, to the indescribable feeling when he approached the hutong area.
He was completely numb until he entered the cramped and small courtyard.
But when he entered the small room that Shu Miao had arranged, he couldn't help but utter a word,
"Hey sister, can't we rent a bigger house?"
Seeing that he still had the nerve to despise her, Shu Miao was so angry that she laughed.
"The rent is two yuan a month. The daily necessities are used, so I'll give you a discount. The pot is ten yuan, the coal stove is twelve yuan, the kettle is five yuan, the thermos is seven yuan, and the enamel basin is three yuan..."
Zi Li, who was about to pay the money out of desperation, froze when he heard the long list of prices she quoted.
"Hurry up and take out the money!" Shu Miao stretched out his hand and smiled kindly.
